Catch 22?

[#1]

Here's the thing. If stocks in the US and around the world are rising on hopes of a rate cut, surely good ecenomic news out of the states increases the possibility that Ben and the Fed stop cutting. The result: global meltdown of note as the Dow throws its toys. Either way, it looks to me like the markets are skrewed in the short term. Not so?

In my opinion (for what it's worth) the trend worldwide is DOWN and it is human nature to try find any excuse to pretend or rather hope that it has bottomed out but there are still way to many issues to sort out before we make a real upward comeback..!locally and worldwide OMHO

I have been playing with gold shares. But the physical stuff or ETF is where the money is. The problem with mines in RSA is that there is no power to take the gold out of the ground. I'm talking not only about energy power, but will power, political power and any other power that might be required.

MEEOOWW! I agree - Roffey has been punting gold for 400 years. I don't care if the FED Cuts by 25/50/75 points, the underlying problem will not go away! All the big US corps are selling their souls to foreign money - the OPEC barons and the chinese are sitting on Trillions of Dollar profits so they have to try and prop up the dollar. They are going to buy America from under them! Also, what about rise on expectation, fall on fact?
